Ship Request

Hey everybody, I am new to the site, but still hope somone can help me or at least reads this...

I was wondering why no one has yet to create some of Stena Line's ships?
I am thinking of ships like:
Stena Danica, Stena Jutlandica, Stena Saga, Stena Carisma,
and perhaps the Germanica, Scandinavica.
and the english Stena ferries.
I think it would be cool to be able to buy the ships in the game.

for pictures of all of the Stena's (and many others) go to www.faktaomfartyg.se

Hope to hear from you.

hi,

the problems with the ferries is, that tey aren't profitable at the moment when you play with them in poc xxl. and you can't create ferry lines
(i think this is on rdklein's todo list).

but a good idea. i have a book with the data.

Thanks for the answer...
well I hope it will be done rather soon... would be cool..

is it possible to make a ship from free imagination? with a picture created in paint? (jpeg or BMP)?

i can only answer this question for myself:

i think to make ships from imaginatio is impossibile because
most shipmakers here do the ship with the right proportions (so they use a stickyard).
many ships are done by photos.
i at the moment do my first ship and use a construction map.

hope is a good answer Confused

I think one or two of the Stena ships is around by one of the builders.

To run a ferry fleet at a profit you'd have to collect a fleet and change / add cargo in a few harbors. Example: Trucks, Mafi's palletts and so forth.
Of course you can create a fantasy ship, but most add on ships are created from Foto's or drawings with supporting info on the particulars.

Re: Stena Forerunner.
I think I made her for Christian originally, from a picture supplied by him?
And sure enough she is on Christians web site:

Together with a few other ferries Smile

BTW, if you look at my web site it has links to all other ship builders / port architects Smile

Among all the builders there are maybe 40 ferries / RoRo ships
